OP, on the sweaty hair issue, I got two words for you: Number Three. Or perhaps Number Two. Even though I'm thinning on top, I have loved switching to a buzz cut. I will never have to comb again for the rest of my life.
Also, you might want to explain your situation to your boss, and ask them if you can structure your work so that the first half-hour or so is in the back, in cold storage or something, so you can get stuff done and get paid while you're still in your cycling clothes, then a scheduled 10-15-minute break to change and head out to face the public.
I have longer hair, and just put a hat on instead of combing it. I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet, but I bought a "Super Absorbent Towel" to dry up from all the sweating.
Not possible to create that sort of shift structure in my position either. I do arrive early, drink cold water, and cool down before changing. I also got some fragrance free baby wipes to de-funk my junk. Today it worked well, but I was riding in at 3:30 am in 60 degrees dodging sprinklers the whole way.
Important lesson from today, always have a solution packed in case of a blow out (saved by a discarded blunt wrapper package with 8 miles left to go). I hear mylar balloons also work well.
